______15

Etiquette

As you begin exploring Switzerland, you will make friends from the country and join so- cial and formal occasions. The Swiss apply a set of rather easy to follow rules.

 Always be punctual. The Swiss consider it as an insult if you arrive late or early.

 Always greet every individual if you are joining a crowd of people for a meeting, a game, a get- together, or any projects etc.

 Remember to say please and thank you and you are welcome (or the French, German or Italian equivalent).

 At the table: keep your hands above, and no elbows on the table, no talking with the mouth full, and no telephone. If someone hands you a platter of food or a bottle of wine, always serve oth- ers first.

 Always look each person in the eyes when saying a toast; in Romansh (the local language in Graubünden), we say “Viva”.

______16

Mobile phones

When choosing your mobile service provider, keep in mind:

 Unlimited 4G is useful when traveling around Switzerland and keeping in touch with your family overseas.

 Contracts usually last a minimum of a year and charge 300 CHF fee to change/cancel early.

 Possibility to purchase a SIM card separately, so you do not have to buy a new phone.

 Some of the mobile phone companies: Swisscom, Salt, Sunrise etc.

Tips for saving money

Since Switzerland is an expensive place to live, we offer some tips on how you could save money and still be able to enjoy the country.

 Eating out can be expensive in Switzerland, take advantage of your meal card on campus and try having simple “no-cook” dinners in our students’ kitchen with friends.

 Taxis are costly, so avoid them if possible. Often, public transportation will get you there just as fast, but you must be on time because the buses and trains leave exactly on time.

Switzerland’s recycling policies have enabled it to hold the first position in the world’s environment performance index ranking. It may take some time to understand but, you will quickly realize how good it is for your conscience and the environment.

Common Recyclables Always sort these items out and place them in the bins located around campus.

→ Paper & cardboard → PET bottles → Aluminium → Glass items, separated by colours

Other Garbage • Students living in EHL accommodations can deposit their trash in the bins located in com- mon areas around campus.

• Off campus, garbage must be placed in appropriate containers. When living off cam- pus, you must purchase special garbage bags in the local grocery stores.

• The most common (household size) bag is 35L and costs 20 CHF for 10 bags. Attempting to use any other garbage bag or deposing trash outside of a proper recipient risks a fine of up to 300 CHF.

Other Recyclable Items • It is very important to recycle batteries and electronics because they contain heavy metals that are bad for the environment.

• Other items such as milk bottles, lightbulbs, Nespresso capsules, metals, household items, broken dishes, wood items etc. are all recycla- ble.

• Find the nearest recycling points using this website: www.swissrecycling.ch
